“You’re my only wife. I only wanted to reach an agreement with your family due to that fact. I went behind your back because I knew you’d never allow such a meeting to happen. I didn’t try to kill you and never will. I’ve been going fucking crazy for the past couple of months until the moment Maksim said you were alive. I...

He reaches a hand to my face, ignoring the rifle that’s now pressing against his chest. Where his heart is. The heart I never had a place in, no matter how much I tried. The heart that never accepted me, even though mine is full of him. Before that stupid organ softens, before he can touch me, I lift the rifle higher and pull the trigger. My chest falls as he flies sideways and blood explodes on his right arm from the gash in his skin. It trickles down to his limp hand—the hand he tried to touch me with. My heart that I thought was long dead bleeds at the view. Fuck. Shit. Goddammit! How am I

I see it then. In the depths of his arctic eyes that could freeze someone to death. He means every word. If I don’t put a bullet in his heart or head, he’ll chase me relentlessly. Until either I kill him or he possesses me. And that’s terrifying because at this point, I don’t know which one is more likely to come true. I’d hate myself in both cases. I lift my rifle and shoot the sky, and just like that, a long, raw scream rips out of my lungs. Until I nearly lose my voice. Until my heart metaphorically spills out on the ground. When I look back at Kirill, he’s watching me with keen interest.
